Winter Winter Go Away

Forecast: heavy snow, high winds, freezing temperatures. Sounds like February-but it's Mid-May! So, the big Bike Race is cancelled/postponed reset- and relocated. Oh, well, that's life.
Maybe by Memorial Day springtime will arrive. We all got excited about spring , put away the shovels, chains, cables, snow blowers, etc. Now, out of the shed they come,again. This is the Sierra, everybody's favorite mountain chain.
The weekend visitor rate just plummeted again. Businesses thought they could look forward to a seasonal uptick in numbers. But no, they'll have to wait for another springtime to begin.
Stay tuned, stay warm, be careful driving, look out for bears, hungry bears.
